Name the Price: Cell Phones

There once was a time, not all that long ago, when only a select few had cell phones. They were the size of a brick, had yard-long antennae and weighed about 15 pounds. Now, of course, most people wouldn't be caught dead without a cell phone, and just about all of them can fit into the palm of your hand. But have you ever dreamed about a phone that's more special -- one that has a ruby snake on it, perhaps, or a ring that sounds like a Ferrari engine? How much would one of those cost?
